Origins

It is based on various mammals such as Hamsters, Rabbits, or Mice. As well as being based on some reptiles, mostly theropod dinosaurs. Its name is possibly a combination of a parody word of needle and queen.

Trivia

Despite having genders, Nidoqueen, along with its pre-evolution Nidorina, are unable to breed, however their male counterparts Nidorino and Nidoking can breed.

No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Nidoking and Nidoqueen.

Despite being in the No Eggs group in the games, Nidoqueen was capable of breeding in the anime.
